Section 331 Second Examination (2)
In fact, originally, things could not have been done to such an absolute extent.
For example, more than ten years ago, Liu Xingju, the king of Jibei, stabbed Chang'an in the back, and directly led the army that was already preparing to go to the Great Wall and was forced to turn around and quell the rebellion.
At that time, although the first emperor was angry and angry, he had to issue an edict and pardoned all the rebellious people, except for the mastermind, none of the remaining Liu Xingju remnants of the party moved, and even the official position remained the same.
However, today, Liu Che's emperor father obviously does not have such a good stomach and temper as the first emperor.
This time, he had already made up his mind to uproot the separatist forces of Wu and Chu.
There is no more 'forgiveness'.
And when today's son has such a big confidence, the reason is still Liu Che.
Last year, Liu Che conducted the examination, and other effects are ignored for the time being.
Just the dozen or so people who were selected, each of them, no matter how picky they were, could be released as a county order.
If the best of them are even more praiseworthy, some people have even commented on the people who were selected in the examination last year: most of them are future humerus.
The landlords, gentry and wealthy businessmen in Guanzhong are even more gearing up, actively waiting for the next round of examinations.
It is said that many of the scholars who were brushed off last time.
They have 'shamed and then couraged', 'read poetry and books diligently, and visited famous teachers'.
Many parents who have broken their hearts for their children have smiled and are relieved.
From Guanzhong to Luoyang, the people's hearts are available.
According to the local officials, since the examination, the diligent learner. It has become a trend, and good families have taken reading as the priority, and the place is quiet.
Let's not talk about whether these remarks are sycophants. Suspicion of sycophancy.
Anyway, these words were said by Liu Che, the son of heaven, was overjoyed in his heart, his eyebrows were smiling, and even his appetite became much better.
As an emperor, what he feared most was the local heroes and gentry, traveling around the world and making friends. Then the two horses drank too much urine and pulled the flag to rebel.
What I like most is that these powerful and gentry children have an ancient brain to study how to be an official and how to blend into the officialdom.
Moreover. The local overseers and eunuchs sent to various places by the Shaofu were probably reciprocated in this way.
This strengthened the determination of the Son of Heaven.
In fact, when Liu Che first heard about it, he was also a little confused.
Logically speaking. He did the examination. It doesn't seem like it's anything too spectacular, right?
But he didn't know that although the examination he made was shady, there were too many interest exchanges and trade-offs behind it.
But at least, a semblance of fairness and justice has been maintained.
For today's young people, competitiveness is a symbol engraved into their souls.
In order to prove that he is better than others, it is illegal to commit murder. I don't blink my eyes, but there are a lot of people.
And for the powerful gentry landlords. The children of their own family, continuing to farm is definitely not the way out, people go to higher places, and water flows to lower places.
Eating court meals, wearing official hats, and entering and exiting prestige are all done by the big husband.
It's just that the recommendation threshold is too high!
Even if he is a natural actor, his reputation has been brushed since he was a child, if he has no good luck, he must at least brush until he is thirty years old before he is qualified to be recommended by the local county guard.
And in today's world, as long as you enter the officialdom, it is an iron rice bowl.
If you don't make mistakes, you can continue to be an official for almost all generations.
It's a much more promising deal than farming!
Therefore, as soon as the examination was launched, it was immediately very popular, and the gentry, landlords, and wealthy businessmen felt that this was a good road to Qingyun, and it also had face when it was said.
Like the elders of the family who are like Yan Yi, now they brag when they meet people and say: My kid is not talented, and among the three thousand scholars, he won the first place in the examination, and he was called the first ......
As soon as others heard about it, the first among the three thousand scholars?
This is amazing, and it is immediately a look of admiration and longing.
In the past half a year, the Yan family in Jinan has admired the students who came to apprentice like the carp crossing the river, among which there are not a few sons and nephews of the Marquis of Che, and there are even princes and princes, who condescend to listen to the lecture.
As for the young people......
As the scholars who participated in the examination went home separately, they naturally refused to lower their values and belittle themselves.
What to do?
Raise your opponents!
What excuses for non-war crimes have been pondered.
Then, for the sake of self-esteem or vanity, they trumpeted the honor of admission.
What princes worship in person, roll call praise the street, catch sons-in-law under the list, etc., are all publicized everywhere by these people.
Many local overlords in the countryside, how have they ever heard of such a scene?
Suddenly it was said that it was itchy and unbearable.
Especially when they heard that in order to rob the face of the other son-in-law, the ministers and ministers were going to tear their faces.
Listening to these stories, many 'young heroes' who think they are 'quite talented' and think that they are 'talented', where can they still live?
After returning home, he told his parents that he should study with peace of mind, wait for the next round of examinations, and become famous in one fell swoop, so that everyone in the world will know his name, and let the nobles of Chang'an take their daughters to tempt.
Especially after the questions of the examination were publicized everywhere, such an atmosphere suddenly became even stronger.
After reading the first two questions of the examination, many people are full of spirits, pointing out the country and inspiring the words.
"I'll be able to do this kind of topic!"
The test questions that are so simple that they can answer as long as they are literate do not know how many people have been inspired, study hard, and vow to become Yan Yi's second.
That is, the third problem, which is a little more difficult, and as for the arithmetic problem, it is sad that many people's hair has been lost.
However, no matter how difficult anything is, once it is made public and worked together, it is no longer a problem.
Nowadays, I don't know how many schools and families are concentrating on studying that test question.
Liu Che didn't know this, but he knew that hundreds of people had to be admitted at one time, and they were all admitted to state institutions, and the examination for grassroots or middle-level officials would definitely not be the same as last year.
In last year's examination, he relied on foresight and familiar people. You can choose those talents who have been proven by history to be able to become talents, which is why the results are so good.
And this time, the exam. Not only has the number of admissions skyrocketed, but, crucially, these people are officials who are going to hold many key positions.
Admitting one or two straw bales can also explain that adults have stumbled, horses have stumbled, and large areas of straw bales. Then it's a shame to throw it to grandma's house.
Yes, this exam, in terms of test questions. It is necessary to be professional and purposeful, and eliminate those who are not suitable for being officials.
Of course, because the recruits are all middle- and lower-level officials who want to do practical things, so. What poetry book classics to test. That's a cannon to fight mosquitoes, on the su zhì, you still have to be the same as last time, literacy, arithmetic, clear logic, clear thinking, it's enough.
It's not about choosing a prime minister, but it depends on whether you can memorize the classics.
Not to mention choosing a doctorate, no one asks for admission, all those who are full of poetry and books. There is authority in the field of one side.
Thinking so, Liu Che asked, "Zhu Qing thinks." What should I do in this examination? ”
As soon as Liu Che's words came out, as the beneficiaries of the examination, Yan Yi and the others glanced at each other, no matter what faction they came from, but they would always be labeled as the examination.
No matter what the world thinks of the examination.
These people will always be the guardians of the examination!
Therefore, Yan Yi, Ning Cheng, Zheng Shishi, and the four of them immediately came out to worship and said: "The ministers think that the examination is a matter of importance, so they should carefully consider it, set the policy and steps, and then select famous teachers and doctors, take over hundreds of schools, and choose scholars!" ”
To say that there is no bad word about the people who have no examinations is a lie.
At the very least, the popular phrase "It's so simple, I can do it!" It deeply stimulated Yan Yi and others.
Who wants to be so despised by others?
Since ancient times, the struggle between literati has been fiercer than the fighting on the battlefield.
Therefore, in order to maintain their reputation and clear their reputation, Yan Yi and other examinees have long had a consensus in private, and the next time they take the exam, they must ask a famous teacher to come up with a question, 'Don't let the world despise the exam'.
Liu Che didn't know that there was such a situation, he heard this, frowned, waved his hand and said: "It's not about choosing the three princes and nine secretaries, it's all about the officials who do specific things, so work is the first, and the secretaries should think about it, how to choose good talents for the country!" ”
In this examination, Liu Che visually estimated that tens of thousands of people may come to Chang'an for reference.
Scholars from all over the world will gather in Chang'an this time.
Because of the different imperial examinations of later generations.
The imperial examination has to go through the township examination and the hospital examination, and it will be upgraded from showing talents and lifting people all the way to fight monsters, and finally get a jinshi and achieve an official position.
As for the examination, there is no screening procedure, as long as you are a scholar, have money in your family, and can afford to be entangled, you can come to Chang'an for reference.
Liu Che also weighed the pros and cons of this.
In the end, Liu Che believes that the advantages of the current model outweigh the disadvantages.
At the very least, the people selected by the examination are more malleable and have a future for development, and they are much stronger than the clear stream of those who are stupid in reading and reading compared to the group of fundamentalists who are selected in the imperial examination.
Liu Che has always believed that the same person, who has studied for 20 years and then won the middle jinshi, and who has studied for 10 years, then been an assistant for 10 years, and finally is in charge of the same party, in the end the achievements of the two may be very different!
Even corruption, the latter is more technical than the former!
Moreover, the world's talents and heroes gather in Chang'an, which can also drive Chang'an's economic development.
In comparison, the cost of security is negligible.
Yan Yi and the others saw Liu Che's resolute attitude, and they couldn't say anything.
can only ask: "Dare to ask the family, when is this examination scheduled?" ”
Liu Che laughed and replied: "The time has not been set yet, but it will probably be between July and August, and it will not be later than the end of this year......
Liu Che plans to gradually regularize, long-term and institutionalize the examination, so that it will gradually replace the recommendation system and the official system.
Liu Che has ambitions, and in the future, all the low-level officials will be selected by themselves.
In this way, the possibility of the emergence of the gate valve family can be cut off.
Liu Che thought about it, threw out another bombshell, and said: "The day before yesterday, the captain wrote to the Son of Heaven, requesting that this year, he should take the martial arts examination and select fifty team leaders for the army, Zhu Qing, also think about it, how to select fifty usable team leaders in the framework of the examination!" ”
It is no news that Zhou Yafu figured out the guò examination model to select middle-level officers.
Since last year, Zhou Yafu has been actively promoting this matter, pinning his hopes on the model of the guò examination to select enough young officers to complete his dream of becoming a cavalryman.
And the generals are not the same as civilian officials.
Civilian work, literacy and arithmetic are qualified, the brain is not stupid, and you can basically do a good job, even if you are a little stupid, as long as you are diligent enough, you can make up for it.
At the beginning, Cao Shen was in charge of the Han Dynasty, and he specially appointed some taciturn honest people, and he still made achievements.
The generals are different.
It's okay if you can't read, but if you don't understand geography, don't know the sky, don't understand the basic common sense of the army, then it's fatal!
What's more, it's still the team rate that is chosen!
Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, many famous figures have started from the team rate, and then they have been crowned marquis and have achieved great things.
For example, Shen Tujia is a typical example of starting from the team rate and then ranking among the prime ministers.
Therefore, the Han family attaches great importance to the cultivation and selection of team rate.
Generally, children who are not from generals' families rarely become team leaders as soon as they come up.
The vast majority of the team rate started with military merits, and they were able to get ahead by beheading and meritorious service.
This time, the mode of passing the guò examination and the selection rate of the team can be described as unprecedented!
However, Taiwei Zhou Yafu, who had made great contributions to quelling the rebellion of Wu Rebellion, put forward this proposal, and no one could stop it anymore.
Even the Son of Heaven didn't think about it, so he directly agreed to Zhou Yafu's request. (To be continued......)
